DC Announces DCKO, a New Tag Fighting Game (And No, It's Not Injustice 3)
DC has officially announced a brand-new fighting game, but fans hoping for Injustice 3 are going to have to keep waiting. The game is called DCKO, a tag-based fighter featuring DC Comics characters that some fans have already taken to calling "Dicko." The announcement caught much of the community off guard, as anticipation for a proper Injustice sequel has been building for years, making the reveal of an entirely different title a surprising pivot from what many were expecting.
To add another layer of disappointment for console players, DCKO appears to be a mobile title, putting DC Comics characters back in the fighting game ring in a free-to-play format. The announcement drew immediate comparisons to Marvel's recent gaming momentum, with many observers noting that a mobile fighter feels like a modest response to the broader appetite for a big-budget DC fighting game. Whether DCKO can carve out its own identity, separate from the long shadow of the Injustice series, remains to be seen.
